You may be an outlier. Usually people buy monthly passes for 150-200 dollars. It gets expensive when you have to commute from another town though, like taking the GO Train in Toronto.

- rho4 5y agoCHF 545/month (= ~$600/month = ~$20/day): 1st class national travel card in Switzerland. I chose this instead of owning a car. https://www.sbb.ch/en/travelcards-and-tickets/railpasses/ga/overview-ga-travelcard.html https://www.sbb.ch/en/travelcards-and-tickets/railpasses/ga/... (see monthly prices).
- smnrchrds 5y agoSwitzerland! That explains the price! What is the difference between 1st class and 2nd class?
- rho4 5y agoSeparate wagons with typically 3 seats per row instead of 4, which are also a bit more comfortable. Less crowded, almost no kids and generally more quiet.
- smnrchrds 5y agoThank you for the explanation. I wish my country (Canada) had a better public transit infrastructure and was not so car-dependant.
